You make a great point there. The word homophobe makes it sound as if I'm the one with the problem...and that's exactly the intent of it. Well they can just go blow themselves!

Maybe homoaverse is a better term than homophobic.

"The answers are as complex as the plot. "

What straight guy wants to see a movie to get groped by some gay dude?

"Trust me, it is not a chick flick."

I have not seen it...

But lots of the reviews describe it as a chick flick/romance movie that just happens to have gay cowboys.... not my thing but then who am I to tell women what movies to watch?

George Weinberg said this aversion is "definitely homophobia." He is the New York City psychologist and researcher who invented that term in the 1960s, and broke ground with his 1972 book, "Society and the Healthy Homosexual."

***It is quite normal, natural and wholesome, if not a biological imperative, for heterosexuals to have an aversion to homosexuality. That aversion is not "homophobia" - it is normal heterosexual response. Most heterosexual parents have an extreme aversion to having their young children socialized by homosexual orientation in schools. That is normal and natural.

***Of course, I have an aversion to homophiliac "authorities" and researchers.

I don't know why, but this gave me my first really good laugh of the day. Thanks!

Ha! Sensitivity training! That's the one where I ate a whole bole of refried beans and made them pay for forcing me to listen to their drivel.

Heh. Bring in outsiders to run your show, and I'll bomb you out of existence. ;)

Juvenile? Oh yeah! But fun!!

No sh*t, Sherlock!

Here's the official graphic.

Gets the point across, and saves you from getting posts pulled for profanity. You can also use this one:

I heard the producers were hoping to spin this blockbuster hit into a weekly tv series ..."Little HOMO on the Prairie"

Doh.. :D

"I got hundreds of messages, most of whom hated me for just existing," he said.

Earth to Dave: people don't hate you for just existing. People hate you because you suck.

Why concede that point ? Why even accept such an equation as valid ?

I don't do that. But your point is valid.

White's theory on straight-male queasiness centers on self-identification. "These characters are too close to being regular guys," he said. "That's part of the freakout."

Oh puh-leez ...

"Homo, homo on the range, where the deer queer and the antelope sodomite play."

And in response to the article, I "Just say 'NO!'" to the movie. Not even a trace of thanks.

No cheers, unfortunately.

The most homophobic people of all are homosexuals, else their lifestyle would not be so self-destructive.

All that I can tell you is that I haven't heard anyone say that they wanted to see this movie, male or female, but I haven't exactly taken a poll.

I'm so tired of being called a homophobe just because I think their lifestyle is deviant and I don't want it in my face. Why aren't those little tutu-wearing fairies called heterophobes?

*The cry of homosexual activism is against what they allege is the world's long history of "heterosexual dictatorship". (Heterosexual dictatorshop = biological and social survival imperatives.) Yes, "gay activism" is fiercely heterophobic! Throw that term back into their faces.

***As soon as you register your disgust at this aberrant behavior, you are labelled a "homophobe." This word is the biggest scam since snake-oil. ***

Better to be a homophobe than a hoplophobe!

"Bareback Mountain:" Straight to LOGO Cable. Anybody have LOGO on their Cable system? It seems the gays now have their own cable channel.

It's a chick flick

It's NOT a chick flick. Your circle of women friends must all be raging liberals.

I was hoping somebody would post that pic of the guy from CHiPs. His name excapes me. Eric Estrada maybe? I would think this would be the correct time to use it.
